I know. I am not defending the guy. He’s horrible.

I went into debt to pay for school and by the time I could start saving for retirement I was a solid decade behind most people.

don’t put words in my mouth, buster. It makes you look clownish.

It’s all about him, and what he’s lost, and how he can get it back. And as long as he approaches it from that perspective, anything he does is pointless.

I’m not at ALL eager to believe he’s changed. I keep saying over and over that I agree he is probably full of shit and needs to, for real, check in somewhere. Apparently he keeps moving those goalposts (now reportedly in Scottsdale, unclear if in any facility) so as I said elsewhere, your and others’ skepticism of…

Totally fair to be skeptical of his motives. Hopefully whatever therapist(s) he lands with won’t let him use them as PR flacks and will work to break through the many layers of bullshit are undoubtedly surrounding his fucked-up soul.

Well, the most recent reporting I’ve seen says that he is in arizona checking into an inpatient facility. I don’t know if that’s true or not.

What else would you have him do? Kill himself? Just sit at home for the rest of his life thinking about what a horrible person he is? (Do you trust him to do that? of course not!)

i shudder to think what “i gotta help the guys” even means...

It’s possible there’s some serious narcissism baked into her take - like “come on, have you seen hot I am? if this guy was such a horny pervert there’s no way he wouldn’t have been all over me!”

“You’re going to die tomorrow” is bad news.

The James River Republican Women, regrettably, were unable to stay for photos as there was a great deal of laundry and cooking and errands and child pickup to attend to

As usual, a college football game was a contest to see who could make the last humiliatingly incompetent mistake.

Who cares why? You attacked me for saying the BoR was written by “the founders.” It was.

You do realize that Jefferson’s reference to inalienable rights was in the Declaration of Independence and had nothing to do with 2A, or anything in the Bill of Rights, at all, right?

Your right to keep and bear arms is one right among many that you have. It’s not a god-given right, it’s not a natural right, and it’s not one of the rights Jefferson called inalienable. It’s a creation of the founders, who were politicians not deities - in other words, it’s a right that was given to you by the very…

I want to make sure I understand. “I will die in a firefight with my government to defend my right to die in a firefight with my government.” Yes?

I don’t have words to respond to your first three paragraphs other than to reiterate that I’m glad I don’t know you.

Timothy McVeigh was captured, charged, tried, convicted and executed. He is dead and will forever be remembered for one act of deranged sociopathy. The American government is as powerful as ever. A new federal building stands in Oklahoma City along with a memorial to the one he senselessly blew up.

Um. All three of those incidents tend to prove my point. The feds decisively ended each standoff by either actual or threatened tactical action - without even getting the military involved.
